Ravenglass^t1³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: A Wintle| OR: 61| BF

5/1

Sixteen runs since last win in 2022. Ninth of 11 in handicap (3/1) at Chelmsford City (7f) 3 days ago. Tongue strap on for 1st time. Needs to bounce back.

Form: 392279

Conri²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: D Tudhope| T: D O'Meara| OR: 61

17/2

Lightly-raced maiden who showed improved form when fifth of 12 on handicap debut at Newcastle (6f, 18/1) 21 days ago. Needs more but that's possible given his lightly-raced profile.

Form: 0-545

Diamondsinthesand^h²²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: Finley Marsh| T: A Wintle| OR: 59| CD

13/2

Bounced back to best to get off the mark in 12-runner handicap at this C&D (17/2) 22 days ago. Consistent sort who's likely to go well again.

Form: 425631

King Of Speed^t²⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Billy Loughnane| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 59

11/1

28/1, respectable fifth of 12 in handicap at Kempton (6f) 25 days ago, not ideally placed. Now 2 lb below last winning mark, so can't be dismissed.

Form: 627535

Intoxicata^v²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Rossa Ryan| T: E A L Dunlop| OR: 59| BF| CD

5/1

C&D winner. 3 wins from 13 runs this year, latest at Lingfield in November. Creditable third of 10 in handicap (4/6) at Chelmsford City (7f) 24 days ago, despite not ideally placed. Seems sure to give another good account.

Form: 241123

Global Warning⁷⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 9-6| J: Dylan Hogan| T: J Butler| OR: 58| CD

13/8

C&D winner. Nineteen runs since last win in 2022. 16/1, respectable sixth of 13 in handicap at Kempton (7f) 74 days ago, never nearer.

Form: 590966

(3)

Sir Titan³⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 9-5| J: William Carson| T: A W Carroll| OR: 57| CD

17/2

C&D winner. Twenty runs since last win in 2021. 6/1, creditable second of 12 in handicap at this C&D 34 days ago. A reproduction of that form could see him resume winning ways.

Form: 634322

Hawajes²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: C Lee| T: A W Carroll| OR: 57

22/1

Fair maiden who wasn't seen to best effect when seventh of 12 in handicap at this C&D (22/1) 23 days ago, left poorly placed.

Forecasts

Global Warning (13/8), Intoxicata (5/1), Ravenglass (5/1), Diamondsinthesand (13/2), Sir Titan (17/2), Conri (17/2), King Of Speed (11/1), Moai (20/1), Hawajes (22/1), Pop Favorite (33/1), River Wharfe (150/1)

INTOXICATA has progressed well since being switched to handicaps and can add another win to her tally. Sir Titan is getting on, but he's been knocking on the door of late and can give another good account. Diamondsinthesand has proven consistent for his current yard and completes the shortlist.
